On the recordOctober 20, 2021
Mr. Brent Jex is a retired police detective of 20 years in the West Jordan Police Department and served as president of the Utah Fraternal Order of Police since 2012. As a member of Utah's Joint Criminal Apprehension Team, Brent has participated in the arrest of the most dangerous and notorious criminals in the Intermountain West. But even more impressive is his dedication to advocating for our men and women in uniforms' mental health. Right now, even more than ever, our officers are under scrutiny and stress that none of us can imagine. They have a voice with Brent as the president of FOP. Referring to mental health treatment, Brent has said, ``Before I thought it was a sign of weakness to have to go seek treatment. Afterward, I realized that it is a sign of weakness not to.'' Brent represents the best of us. He is an invaluable member of the law enforcement community and the State of Utah as a whole. Brent, thank you for all you have done and all you do to keep our community safe. Honoring Utah's Small Businesses
